Out of every 100 candidates who reached the interview stage at IIM Udaipur this year, fewer than 24 left with an admission offer. RTI data from the institute for its MBA 2026-28 batch puts the full funnel in the open: 10,001 candidates were shortlisted for personal interviews, and 2,373 of them received final offers.
General category candidates formed the largest group at both stages. They took 4,538 of the interview calls, or 45.4%, and 1,118 of the offers, or 47.1%. NC-OBC candidates were next, with 2,436 interview calls and 496 offers. The rest of the shortlist was 1,313 candidates from the Scheduled Castes, 735 from the Economically Weaker Sections, 685 from the Scheduled Tribes and 294 Persons with Disabilities candidates.
The conversion rate was not the same for every group. PwD candidates had the highest, at 38.8%, with 114 offers from 294 interviews. SC candidates converted at 26.8% and General candidates at 24.6%, both above the overall 23.7%. EWS candidates converted at 21.2%, NC-OBC at 20.4% and ST at 20.0%.
What CAT score it took
For the 2026-28 batch, which admitted through CAT 2025, General category candidates needed 94 percentile overall, with 75 in each of the three sections, to be considered for the interview process. The overall floor was 81 percentile for EWS and NC-OBC candidates, 66 for SC candidates and 42 for ST and PwD candidates.
Clearing the cutoff did not guarantee an interview. It only made a candidate eligible to register for the personal interview process, after which the institute shortlisted on CAT score and profile. Candidates who met the cutoffs received an email invitation to register, and the final interview list came from those who registered.
How the final list was made
The CAT score carried the most weight in the final selection at 55%, followed by the personal interview at 25%. The remaining 20% came from the candidate’s profile, covering academic record, work experience and diversity.
